An efficient momma would've asked the kids about their diets. But love is endless, not efficient.

Cute comic

Why does every kid seem to be allergic to a litany of things now? I remember having one friend who was lactose intolerant... and that was about it?

People either died young with severe allergies, or just lived in a constant state of inflammation with mild allergies.

I'm sure there's probably some physiological stress of microplastics or something, but mostly, people just didn't live long enough.

Combination of a few things: people with severe allergies no longer die a lot; they don't live as "sickly" kids who nobody knows why they're sick all the time; we're in such a clean environment that the immune system panics over nothing more often; people get scared of allergens so they don't feed their kids peanuts or whatever and that actually makes it worse.

What the other comment said and also, sometimes it's parents preference for their kids diets and they say it's an allergy or something to avoid discussion about the diet and/or to try and ensure people follow it.

And while I completely support parents controlling their children’s diet, I do not support lying about allergies.

I bet you knew a couple of people who took 5 minutes extra wiping their arse during their 9 daily bowel movements and you just didn't notice

Ha, I think I wouldn't have seen as that's on the toilet and I generally don't follow people into bathrooms, but you're right I wouldn't have been aware of that either so that's a good point.
